Works surprisingly well, it enables frame generation on any GPU, without vendor lock.

I've been using it on my ROG ally where it has been an absolute game changer, running Final Fantasy VII rebirth at 60fps with some of the settings turned up, instead of struggling at 30 or below. It could also help you save battery if you lock the frame rate and then inject gen frames.

Another prime example is using it on games like NFS rivals, which by default are locked at 30fps and cannot be unlocked without having the game engine running at a faster speed. This has made the game much more enjoyable at 60 (this setup also requires borderless gaming since by default NFS is only fullscreen/windows)

The only use case I wouldn't recommend is multiplayer games, the input lag is noticeable. It doesn't bother me for singleplayer / chill games which don't require fast reactions

Steaming pile of garbage with some of the worst handling I've ever experienced in a "racing sim". Every car is RB-levels of snap oversteer for some reason???

More ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ F1 World and fanzone garbage, more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ micro-transactions, copy-pasted animations we've been seeing for the last 4-5 years.

Barely worth the 10 USD on sale, God help if you actually shelled out MSRP for this trash.

2021 was the last good f1 season & game

This game could've been great, but it's sadly hindered by bad mechanics, uninteresting story and a general feeling of playing a filler game.

The most important things for me when playing a Final Fantasy game, are characters and story. So far, the characters are pretty bland, as the game makes no effort to really introduce them. We know nothing of them, yet we are supposed to care about their interactions as though we did. The story suffers from the same problem, we are dropped in what feels like the middle of a narrative, and are given 0 explanations as to what is happening and why. Perhaps watching king's glaive is a pre-requisite?

When it comes to gameplay, the combat feels alright, but definitely not as good as the modern titles. The problem lies with the repetitive MMO-style quest design, which feels like you're playing garbage filler content, and the car mechanics. The latter making you sit around and listen to dialogue between characters you don't know for way too long really tests your patience.

I think this game would've been much better if they went for a classic linear story-based FF game, instead of focusing on creating an open world. The world is vast, but it feels somewhat empty and the missions are just trash.

A well-built, optimized PC title releasing in current year? I didn't think it was possible either, yet here we are!

So far the game is great, dialogue is well-written and the story is engaging. This is everything the last two films should've been, and sadly only a video game could portray young Indiana Jones correctly :)

This entry seems like the most compelling in the franchise since MWR. The campaign is top-notch and very similar to Cold War (it is basically a continuation), but unlike that game, the multiplayer delivers.

Omni-mouvement is a cool gimmick, sometimes I'll go for a dive to peek and get a cool kill, although it's pretty situational. Most people in my lobbies don't seem to be two sweaty (for now). The biggest problem is the maps, which are a bit lacking rn. The map remasters should address that in the future tho

This game is legendary and clearly the best battlefield to date, especially if you only look at multiplayer. It's probably my most bought game (three times on PC, twice on console) which goes to show how much I loved it.

The campaign is perhaps the weakest aspect. The story was really uninspired, the characters were bland and the missions were tedious at times. I've picked it up again on sale to try and re-do it but in hard this time, however gave up as the campaign is still extremely buggy 10 YEARS after release. I can't count the number of times I was stuck on a mission because of some weird glitch making progress impossible, the worst offender being the south china sea 0-speed swimming bug, which still hasn't been patched...

I bought this title just before EA de-listed it, so I can replay the campaign more than decade later after I first finished it, and find out if it still holds up to my memory of it being great.

Sadly, Bad Company 2 has aged terribly in my view. The gunplay is extremely clunky and floaty, the default viewmodel takes up half of your screen, the mouvement is weirdly "locked-in" (when you start sprinting, your character's direction is locked until you move your mouse again). All of this contributes to an underwhelming experience.

It's biggest strength is no doubt the characters and their dynamics. They play off of each other nicely, and it really makes you feel like you're watching a 90s vietnam movie. However, they're only exceptional by battlefield standards (which are abysmally low). The story remains pretty forgettable, far from the heights of late 2000s COD titles.

Really, Bad Company 2's greatest achievement is setting the stage for Battlefield 3, which used the same engine but delivered a much more polished experience, both in single and multiplayer.

A must-play for any FFVII fan

I played this after finishing FFVII Remake, and before Rebirth. I would encourage new fans to do the same, as this is the chronological order intended by the devs (thats the whole reason why they remade it in-between remake and rebirth) despite what some diehards say online.

Full price is a bit steep for what feels like a side-project, as the core gameplay feels somewhat clunky (although much better than on the psp iirc), and many missions are there just for filler, which is to be expected of a handheld port. Still very much worth playing, especially for the story. Thanks to this port, I was finally able to finish this game (never went too far on the psp back then), but I was not ready for such an ending tho ;_;

This game's biggest sin is being a tab-target MMO and releasing in 2024 lmao

It's your typical cookie-cutter Korean MMO with beautiful graphics, a shallow "story" and excessive monetization. These titles are usually fun for the first 100-200 hours as you level up your character and get to do early end-game content (think BDO's 1-60 and Lost Ark's first raids/heroic dungeons). Afterwards, you end up hitting a wall where progression grinds to a halt, and the only way forward is to make the game your job, or invest your job's earnings.

Unlike these titles, T&L doesn't even have the fun and flashy action combat. Gameplay-wise, It feels like playing an early 2010s wow-copycat (like Rift online). What we're left with is a really mediocre MMO with a shiny veneer.

Whilst I've never finished the original due to how outdated it feels, this remake is up there as one of the best Final fantasy experiences available. At times, it feels a bit stretched and bloated (there were a few levels which definitely tested my patience), but it was greatly enjoyable as a whole.

The focus on character relations and growth, especially that of Cloud, is a really strong point that is sometimes missing from the FF games. Story-wise, my main gripe was how the game shows Sephiroth way more often than the OG's Midgar section, but doesn't bother to explain or establish his character, so it's really more teasing for players already familiar with him.

I would definitely recommend the game still. It could even be a good starting point for someone looking to get into Final Fantasy
